Luke, After looking at your filter I can tell you what's going on. firstly, it looks like it's going through twice because you're using stream_by_domain / stream_by_recipient functions which actually re-insert the message on either a per-domain or per-recipient basis (as appropriate) so that is normal. secondly, the reason that you're getting inconsistant results from this is because you're trying to save exemption state information in a global variable. This won't work because the way MIMEDefang works, different slaves may process different parts of the same message. you should read the man pages for MIMEDefang and pay particular attention to the section that covers SAVING STATE INFORMATION. hope this help.
